lookwhaticando Posted 25 October 2008 Posted 25 October 2008 Just how many 'nearly' goals did we have? I recall at least two 'one-on-one' situations that ended up without a goal. Leicester City 0 - 0 Northampton Goal Attempts 22 : 13 Goal Attempts On Target 11 : 7 On Target Crosses 17 : 16 Crosses Corners 3 : 3 Corners Offside 6 : 2 Offside Fouls 8 : 7 Fouls Free kicks 10 : 15 Free kicks Yellow cards 1 : 1 Yellow cards Red cards - : - Red cards % Possession 53 : 47 Possession %
Guest shearfox Posted 25 October 2008 Posted 25 October 2008 both strikers are crap, with Fryatt you know he is going to miss when clean through he always does. This is going to cost us an automatic place and this ain't just evidant from the last three its been evidant all season, it was just a matter of time before it started costing us points.
lavrentis Posted 25 October 2008 Posted 25 October 2008 Brighton away is going to be tough but we need to win it.
the manc Posted 25 October 2008 Posted 25 October 2008 2 dropped same as last season good defence shite attack only diffrence is the team we play in this division arnt to clever themselves! 2 new forwards in poste haste!

This is going to cost us an automatic place and this ain't just evident from the last three its been eveidant all season, it was just a matter of time before it started costing us points. Possibly a tad harsh, but you would think for someone who has 9 goals in all comps so far this season, he would be brimming with confidence, therefore banging in the 1 on 1's. 3 draws in 3, of all of them this is the 1 i feel we should have won.
Trav Le Bleu Posted 25 October 2008 Posted 25 October 2008 Brighton away is going to be tough but we need to win it. I think we probably will. As a fan I feel more confident that we will win away than at home. I think the players feel that too. We need something to turn a very nasty corner. I would suggest dropping ticket prices, getting the place full and noisy. And yes I know, when we have those "special event" low price matches you end up with a ground full of zombies - but I dunno, some pre-match gee-up for the crowd to set the place alight?! I'm getting desperate aren't I?

Agreed, Fryatt has showed recently that he bottles it in one on one situations. We still have the same problem as last season, only this time around we're creating more chances and lately our strikers haven't dished up the goods. What's the situation with DJ ? I'm not his biggest fan, however pressure for places in the starting 11 is a good thing and I think he'd still be an assett in this division. Anyway, we'll be in the automatic places when we win our game in hand.
Brainy Posted 25 October 2008 Posted 25 October 2008 Anyway, we'll be in the automatic places when we win our game in hand. I wouldn't be so sure
sdb Posted 25 October 2008 Posted 25 October 2008 not seen any of the 3 draws but i think a small mix up is needed - iknow we've a relatively thin squad atm, but changing a couple of midfielders and 1 of the strikers should keep things fresh and keep everyone on their toes. it looks like things are getting a little stale

Anyway, we'll be in the automatic places when we win our game in hand. We might do with Dickov back. Now that Chambo and DJ are injured, Odhiambo is away on loan and Fryatt is badly off form, he must (and hopefully will) have a chance.
hewittinspain Posted 25 October 2008 Posted 25 October 2008 What happened to the thread named 'This League one' that was made in September telling each other how easy this league was and that you were going to win almost every game and create a gap from every one else. Hmm 2 draws in a row now. Not easy is it!!!! Scunny and Leeds are top (oh but you do have a game in hand which could easily be another point or none) I'm sure you are beginning to learn that anyone can beat anyone in this league!!
Jonezy Posted 25 October 2008 Posted 25 October 2008 I predict massive Fryatt bashing the next few days.... Crap, another 2 points lost. The Walkers Stadium must be jinxed surely, brings out the best in the visiting teams and the worst in ours. Cheer up, if we cock up promotion, at least we will play Forest next season......

I don't think I'm being harsh, he needs 4-5 chances to score, I have always given him time but he has now had a good run of games and still he is useless. he misses chance after chance, yes he has nine goals but out of how many chances? he should be well into double figures by now... if we had a lambert or beckford we would be well on top...

Thanks for the reality check! Colin Gibson, he who speaks sense, saying pretty much the same on Radio Leicester. Things could be much, much worse!

Thing is, apart from the Millwall suckerpunch, we don't get beat. We just don't have the means to break down organised defences that are more than happy to get a single point. And once we do breach those defences, we have strikers that are either inept or very unlucky...

We just don't have the means to break down organised defences that are more than happy to get a single point.

Exactly, we can afford to miss many chances a game in this league because the opposition rarely pose a threat against us...
Tilley Posted 25 October 2008 Posted 25 October 2008 Absolutely shit, Fryatt is awful, the least said about his miss the better! Howard was just as bad. We have no options off the bench, & this is affecting us. Hobbs was pretty bad too, he got beat in the air everytime. Oakley is no captain whatsoever, never speaks to his players, drop him!!! Well done Tunchev & Kisnorbo, both played pretty solid. Dyer should have scored too, him & Gradel were good in patches. Not good enough! We need to dip into the loan market.
Guest Bilo Posted 25 October 2008 Posted 25 October 2008 Just got back and am starting to become disillusioned with our home form. Creativity is clearly a big problem as Dyer and Gradel were the only players who looked remotely threatening. Fryatt missed what should have been a clearcut opportunity, Howard was plain awful and I'm completely underwhelmed by Andy King. Having said that, the referee and linesmen were nothing short of atrocious. Their idea of offside seems to be that whenever a winger beats his marker; he must be offside. A professional foul on Fryatt went ignored as well as a fair penalty shout from Howard. This Respect agenda in football is all very well but officials have to warrant respect, and they didn't today.
davieG Posted 25 October 2008 Posted 25 October 2008 We didn't deserve to win, no excuses, no ten men behind the ball just 11 inept players so 1 point gained.
lifted*fox Posted 25 October 2008 Posted 25 October 2008 Another frustrating afternoon at the Walkers. Tbh, today was better than Tuesday nights effort against Walsall, but come on... missing TWO clean through chances... We should have had Northampton buried on several occasions. Same old shit though, no confidence in the strikers. Still, it's a draw, it's not the end of the world, but our promising start looks like it's starting to slow down a bit now. League One teams know our game, and they're comfortable in stopping us playing it. Until Nigel does something to rectify this, the draws will keeps on coming, then the losses, then goodbye promotion. ON A REALLY SERIOUS NOTE THOUGH: To the people 'boo-ing' the players... go the fook home. Don't even bother leaving your house. Save your £20 fooking quid and sit tight, on your sofa and boo at the radio. You bunch of ignorant ****s. City smash it up-field and you moan when they lose the ball. City play it amongst the back four and hold onto it, you moan. You're a pack of fooking idiots. You have no right to come to the game and boo, just because you spent £20. Stop spending the money and stay the fook at home. Boo-ing isn't going to boost any morale, or any confidence. Instead of drawing games, we'll lose them. Then we'll be in League Two, then you'll really be crying your little eyes out. GAH. I'd love to slap every one of you. Dicks.

If you include the one which was ruled offside, we had 2 shots on target. That was all. 2 shots. 2 shots on target. It took 74 minutes to register the legal one - the one-on-one with Fryatt in on goal. Everything else went miles wide. Who does these stats?
Benji Posted 25 October 2008 Posted 25 October 2008 Absolutely dreadful Martin, Hobbs, King, Oakley (as a captain not as a player he played pretty well), Fryatt and Howard can all fk right off Garbage!
